Testimonials

A wealth of information was given in ways that were interactive and easily absorbed. Feedback was welcomed and patterns were stressed over details. This empowers us when we leave to find our own permaculture niches in our respective communities.

Kristen LarkinSinger/Songwriter, Permaculture Educator

Each weekend I came prepared with questions for Cliff. Through ongoing dialog, workshops and classes, this course helped me paint a clearer picture of what is possible. I plan to apply these design principles to our future land and create a sustainable homestead. Got a question about agriculture? Ask Cliffapedia.

For anyone thinking about going to a course at Spiral Ridge, DO IT! I just took my PDC there and it was by far the experience and education of a lifetime. Cliff, Jenn, and the rest of the crew are the salt of the earth and true practitioners of all angles of this craft. Trust me…. DO IT… you will not regret it…

I have learned from and enjoyed everyone and every experience I’ve had throughout the course of this month. I am so grateful to have shared in each instructors knowledge, joy and especially compassion. This life is hard, I fall down a lot, but people who have heads and hearts like yours lend me hope, faith and peace.

Emily, Permaculture Student

The teachers did an excellent job covering their subjects. Cliff is an excellent teacher and wonderful mentor. I really learned so much. I found the teaching styles of each (instructor) to be very effective, incorporating “real world” practice into lecture allowed us hands-on integration of taught material.

The course has been a great mix of information, hands-on skills and design. I can design! This was a big confidence builder for me.
